Friday Food and Favorites - Pretty Food and Mother's Day Wish List

Thursday, May 03, 2012

Let's talk about food! Now that my appetite's back with a vengeance, and I promised myself I would appreciate feeling good enough to have an appetite, I'm appreciating it a bit too much. So every morning I wake up and decide to eat in a most healthy way with controlled portions, and most of the time I do. But I find myself dreaming of beautiful and completely unhealthy confections. What put me over the top today though, was when a blog friend of mine posted a photo of a piece of gorgeous cake and all I wanted to do was take a bite out of my computer screen!

So for Friday food I'm posting nothing practical and everything beautiful. I know so many of you, especially the creative ones, enjoy food as an art form. So here's some delicious eye candy...literally!

Now for my Friday favorites I was thinking, I should make a Mother's Day gift list, but alas, the one area I have never been good at has been choosing gifts for others. But then I realized that many of you reading this blog possibly may be young enough to be my daughter or only a few years older (I check the stats and demographics of my blog ;). So I decided I would be the mother here, and make a list of all the things I would love for Mother's Day....don't worry, this is not a hint in any way whatsoever!!

But seriously, I'd love to hear what you think of my wish list:

1. Blingy Baubles

I love all things sparkly and I especially love over sized rings, they just seem to add a bold finishing touch to my outfits. Check out my collection of rings to buy HERE.

2. A gift card to HomeGoods

I have this dream of setting up a glamorous workspace for myself. I've learned that you don't need much space to do this, and with a few fabulous pieces from a place like HomeGoods you can create a wonderful work spot. Maybe one day....

3. A Really Nice Bottle of Wine

This picture from a friend's facebook post gave me the idea for this gift and I just had to share it!

4. A Gift Certificate to a swanky hotel spa (oh yeah!)

5. Finally, what I would really love, is to get and learn Photoshop, because so much of my joy comes from creating beautiful blog posts and photo editing. But that I think I will go buy for myself. Can anyone recommend which Photoshop I should start with?

Do you think your Mom would like some of the stuff I've listed here? What do you think should be on a Mother's Day gift list?
